Hi All, I'd like some thoughts, and some help.... so yes, I'm opening a can of worms :-) A while a go jkatz put out a call about support for netbooks, and I begun to step up and the idea behind Fedora Mini [1] was born before being sidetracked by shiny things in the corner. So I'd like to get things moving forward again, no matter how slowly, for Fedora 12. At FudCon I started that moving [2] with the hope of getting some form of support for Intel's Moblin [3] in F-12 and there's a few package reviews [4] that I'd like some help with if people have time to review them :-) Moving forward I'd like to have some discussion about what people would like out of Fedora Mini. What is the expectation of Fedora on a NetBook/NetTop/MID style device? Is it worth having separate mailing list, or keeping the discussion on fedora-devel. My thoughts on that last point are mixed. Moving it onto another list allows it to be focused and while keeping the discussion clear of what ever the current heated discussion is also keeps it clear of general mainstream discussions where Fedora Mini can contribute or benefit. My personal thoughts are it could be alot, whether it be a NetBook or NetTop device like a eeePC, a mobile device based on the GNOME Mobile stack, a set top box running elisa or a thin terminal running a web broweser, voip client and some form of remote desktop technology..... I have 2 main "Fedora Mini" devices 1) OLPC XO and a eeePC so I can't support it all so I'd like some help. I started to document some of the NetBook hardware [5] and it would be great to get some form of Hardware matrix together to see what's supported out of the box in Fedora, what's supported through 3rd party repositories and what's, well, not supported. Are people able to step up or help out here? My wiki skills aren't the best and Fedora as a group probably has alot of the "Fedora Mini" devices out there to document the hardware into as nice "I want a small device to do blah and I want it to run Fedora what's my best option" so we could probably do with one of the wiki elite to do a basic working layout and to keep it sane and having people with the various devices fill in the blanks. So what do people want out of a Fedora Mini SIG? Cheers, Peter BTW we have an irc channel at #fedora-mini. I'm on there most of the time now and try to keep an eye on it as best I can while doing the rest of my life so feel free to drop in and ask questions, I'll get to them as I can :-) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_Berlin_and_LinuxTag_2009_talks [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraMoblin [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506446 [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMini/Hardware -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
